Answer:

$16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If topaz cost $8 per kilogram, hence;

1 kg = $8

To calculate how much money is 2 1/10 kilograms​, we can write;

2 1/10 = $x

Divide both expressions

1/(21/10) = 8/x

10/21 = 8/x

Cross multiply

10x = 8*21

10x = 168

x = 168/10

x = 16.8

Hence 2 1/10kg of topaz will cost $16.8
